Strolling around Times Square this morning and dressed like a tourist, I found a merchant who apparently has the 3G iPhone in stock right now. I asked one of the store's clerks about the sign and noted that Steve Jobs said July 11th. He said yes it is real and asked if I was interested in purchasing one. Perhaps they have a special connection? Doubt it!

If you are interested in visiting the shop and purchasing an iPhone 3G, it's on 51st between 7th and Broadway. It's one of those "tourist" electronic shops that are all around TS.
